A young boy went to stay there since he was fascinated by ghosts. He took pictures of the entire hotel and they all developed well, except for the pictures of room 202.

Gibraltar Points light house keeper was john Rademuller from 1808-1815. Rademuller was a well known beer smuggler at the time. But for reasons unknown, Rademuller once refused to serve beer to a group of soldiers, the soldiers didn’t take too kindly to that. So to make sure they got the beer they went to the rather extreme method of chopping him to pieces, with an axe and then burying his body parts around the lighthouse. He now haunts the lighthouse, possibly looking for revenge. People have reported moaning coming from the lighthouse on misty nights, photographed floating balls of light coming from the lighthouse. Apparitions have also been known to wander the grounds.

His ghost reportedly walked out of the mine. It’s not just ghosts that inhabit Bell Island though. The Island is also infested with a deadly hag and murderous fairies. The fairies killed a young women in Dobbins garden. None of the villagers came to help her and so she came back to life as a hag seeking revenge.
